When Love Lasts x Jemily

Chapter 22

Emily's pov:
JJ had gotten artificially inseminated exactly 2 weeks ago. Today was the day she took the pregnancy test to find out if it worked.

We had decided not to tell the team, because JJ wanted to wait for a little while to make sure nothing went wrong. I had bought the test after work.

JJ was holding it in her hands staring at it intensely. "JJ you need to actually take the test to see if it worked." I said laughing. She rolled her eyes. "I'm just nervous okay." She said.

"I know I know." I said hugging her. "Emily I'm sorry if it didn't work." She said her eyes brimming with tears.

"No. No you don't say that. If it didn't work, then we can try again. Or maybe we don't. That's up to you. But don't say your sorry because of it didn't work it is not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong sometimes that's just what happens." I say kissing her.

She walks into the bathroom and sits on the toilet. "Emily you have to get out." She says. "JJ I've seen you pee a million times." I laugh. "Yeah but now I'm nervous and I can't pee with you staring at me like that." She said. "Okay okay." I said putting my hands up in defeat and walking outside.

I flopped down on the bed and waited. I heard the toilet flush and JJ washing her hands. She came and sat next to me on the bed. She placed the stick upside down on the bed. I started a timer on my phone for 5 minutes.

JJ rested her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her. "Relax. No matter what it says everything will be okay." I said kissing her cheek.

The timer rings and JJ jumps. She looks at me. "Are you ready?" She asks nervously. "Go ahead." I say.

She closes her eyes and flips the test over. She opens her eyes slowly and looks at it. 2 clear lines.

"Oh my god. Oh my god. Im pregnant! We're having a baby!" She screams jumping on top of me and hugging me. "Oh we're going to have a baby." I said grinning.

"Wow. This is really happening. I can't believe it." JJ said with a big grin on her face. "I'm nervous. Like I think I might throw up." She said still smiling.

"Take a breath. We still have nine full months before that baby comes out of you." I smiled. "Wanna take a bath?" I ask. That usually helps her calm down.

She nods. I go into the bathroom and start the faucet filling up the tub. "You have to join me though." She smiled. "Of course." I say.

She takes off her clothes and checks too make sure the water isn't too hot before climbing inside. I get in behind her letting her lean back into me.

We sit in silence for a while until JJ breaks it. "Will you still love me if I get fat?" She asks all of a sudden.

"Of course I will. Why wouldn't I?" I say kissing the top of her head. "Well I wasn't fat when you married me. You fell in love with me looking like this. So what if that changes when I have the baby?" She said sadly.

I knew JJ always had self image problems so gaining the weight probably wouldn't be easy for her. "JJ I didn't fall in love with you because of the way you look. I fell in love with your amazing brain and how you light up every room you walk into. I fell in love with your soul not your body." I said rubbing her back.

We sat for a while and JJ was almost asleep on my chest. I grab a towel and pull her out of the tub. I change into pajamas and change her because she's half asleep. I climb into bed and wrap the covers over her.

~may 18 (9 months later)~
I stood in the hospital room. Looking down at JJ holding our beautiful baby girl. The best thing that had ever happened to me.

She was absolutely perfect. JJ looked up at me and smiled. "We have a daughter." She said with tears in her eyes. Happy tears. "Yeah. We do." I said with a smile. It was taking everything in me to not start crying.

Having a baby is like ripping your heart out and watching it walk around the world. That's what's completely terrifying. But that's also what makes it incredible. You get to rip out your heart and watch it walk around the world.

The team walks in and all state in awe over her. "Oh my goodness she's beautiful." Garcia smiles.

JJ looks proudly down our baby. "Everyone, meet Josephine Roslyn Jareau-Prentiss."
